Plot

Sue Charlton, one of the protagonists, is a feature writer for Newsday, who is romantically involved with her editor, Richard. Newsday is a daily Tabloid -size Pulitzer Prize winning Newspaper that primarily serves Long Island and the New York City She travels to Australia to write some feature articles and hears about a man who survived a crocodile attack and the removal of his leg by the croc. For a topic outline on this subject see List of basic Australia topics. A leg is a limb on an Animal 's Body that supports the rest of the animal above the ground between the Ankle and the Hip and is used for A crocodile is any Species belonging to the family Crocodylidae (sometimes classified instead as the Subfamily Crocodylinae) She travels to meet this local, Michael J. "Crocodile" Dundee, at an outback settlement, along with the owner of Never Never Outback Tours, Dundee's employer, Walter. Sue is startled to find that "Crocodile" Dundee is not a typical hero and that he is frequently involved in fights. She also learns that the story of his fight with the crocodile is exaggerated, in that his leg is still intact, although with a massive bite scar.

Sue, Mick, and Walter travel into the wilderness, where Mick demonstrates his skills as a woodsman by estimating the time by looking at the sun (seconds after glancing at Walter's watch), hypnotizing a buffalo, and killing a crocodile that attacks Sue. One evening, Mick introduces Sue to Neville Bill, the son of a tribal elder. Mick and "Nev" go to an Aboriginal tribal dance ceremony, to pay respect to Neville's father and to the land. Sue, as a woman, is forbidden to take part in the ritual but she follows and hides in the bushes to observe it. While hiding in the bushes she uses her camera's zoom lens to find Dundee in the crowd of men. She sees him look straight at her, letting her know that he is aware of her presence, enforcing her idea that he is somehow supernaturally in touch with the world around him.

They travel the same route that Mick took when he was injured, ending up in a freshwater lagoon. Sue and Mick share a kiss, but they are interrupted by Walter, returning to fetch them from the bush. Sue invites Mick to accompany her to New York, because he says he has never been to a big city. In New York, he is met with contempt and some jealousy by Richard. He also has a number of awkward moments where he displays an equal amount of unfamiliarity with his surroundings, as by trying to dodge the bottom of an escalator; trying by trial and error to ascertain the use of a bidet; asking the African-American limo driver his tribal background; touching the genitals of a cross-dresser to verify his gender; mixing a drug addict's cocaine with steaming water and instructing him to inhale the vapors that way; and washing his clothes in the bath. A bidet is a low-mounted Plumbing fixture or type of Sink intended for Washing the Genitalia, inner Buttocks, and Anus. He also demonstrates his canny sense of justice when he witnesses a purse-snatching and knocks the running thief insensate with a thrown can of food, and later when he beats a pimp who has used profane language in front of the prostitutes he is working with. A pimp (also called fleshmonger) finds and manages clients for Prostitutes and engages them in Prostitution (in Brothels in most cases and

The most famous scene in the movie occurs when Mick and Sue are menaced by a trio of punks. One of whom brandishes a switchblade. A switchblade (also known as automatic knife, switch, or in British English flick knife) is a type of Knife with a folding or Sue advises Mick to give the thief his wallet, because the thief has a knife. Mick merely chuckles at the switchblade. "That's not a knife," he scoffs, drawing his much larger outback Bowie knife with the words: "That's a knife!" When the thieves run away, he smiles merrily and shrugs the incident off, saying "Just kids having fun". Bowie knife specifically refers to a style of knife popularized by Colonel James "Jim" Bowie and first made by James Black, although its common use refers

As they spend time together for the story, Mick and Sue become closer, which leads to further jealousy on Richard's part. Richard tries to undermine Mick and his influence over Sue and secures Sam Charlton's approval to ask Sue to marry him. When Richard finally proposes marriage to Sue at a dinner party, Mick is upset and decides to go on a 'walkabout' (which can last around 18 months) to reconcile himself to his situation. Walkabout is an Australian term referring to the commonly-held belief that Australian Aborigines would "go walkabout" at the age of thirteen in the wilderness Sue tracks him to Grand Central Station, where they talk back and forth through the subway by having members of the crowd transmit their words.

She insists to him that she has refused to marry Richard, on grounds of loving Mick instead; at this, Mick walks over the heads and raised hands of the jubilant crowd and embraces her.
